−Removed: attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting,
−Removed: which is not required for smaller reporting companies.

+Added: our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting
+Added: based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
+Added: a result of this evaluation, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to a lack
+Added: of sufficient personnel with appropriate GAAP expertise.
+Added: Specifically, due to the complexity and evolving nature of certain accounting
+Added: standards under GAAP, management determined that, as of February 29,2024, the Company did not have sufficient individuals with extensive
+Added: GAAP experience to adequately assess and apply these standards in a timely manner.

+Added: or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.
+Added: A control system, no matter how well-designed
+Added: and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.
+Added: of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
+Added: to their costs.
+Added: Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
+Added: that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
+Added: The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be
+Added: no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
+Added: Projections of any evaluation
+Added: of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks.

+Added: in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

+Added: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).
+Added: The FASB issued this ASU to address issues identified as a result of the complexity
+Added: associated with GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity.
+Added: Complexity associated with the
+Added: accounting is a significant contributing factor to numerous financial statement restatements and results in complexity for users attempting
+Added: to understand the results of applying the current guidance.
+Added: In addressing the complexity, the FASB focused on amending the guidance on
+Added: convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity.
+Added: For convertible
+Added: instruments, the FASB decided to reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock.
+Added: Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared
+Added: with current GAAP.
+Added: Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features
+Added: that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for
+Added: a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums
+Added: are recorded as paid-in capital.
+Added: The FASB concluded that eliminating certain accounting models simplifies the accounting for convertible
+Added: instruments, reduces complexity for preparers and practitioners, and improves the decision usefulness and relevance of the information
+Added: provided to financial statement users.
+Added: In addition to eliminating certain accounting models, the FASB also decided to enhance information
+Added: transparency by making targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance on
+Added: the basis of feedback from financial statement users.
+Added: The FASB decided to amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for
+Added: contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions.
+Added: The FASB observed that the application
+Added: of the derivatives scope exception guidance results in accounting for some contracts as derivatives while accounting for economically
+Added: similar contracts as equity.
+Added: The FASB also decided to improve and amend the related EPS guidance.
+Added: The amendments in this ASU are effective
+Added: for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
+Added: Early adoption is permitted,
+Added: but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
+Added: The FASB specified
+Added: that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year.
+Added: The FASB decided to allow entities to adopt the
+Added: guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition.
+Added: The Company adopted
+Added: ASU 2020-06 on March 1, 2022 on a prospective basis.
+Added: The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated
+Added: financial statements.
+Added: May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
+Added: Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
+Added: Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.
+Added: 2021-04 requires accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants)
+Added: that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange.
+Added: recognition of the modification depends on the nature of the transaction in which the equity-classified written call option is modified.
+Added: If there is more than one element in a transaction (for example, if the modification involves both a debt modification and an equity
+Added: issuance), then the guidance requires allocating the effect of the option modification to each element.
+Added: ASU 2021-04 is effective for
+Added: the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2022.
+Added: ASU 2021-04 should be applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring
+Added: on or after the effective date of the amendments.

+Added: of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
